.A. Hallouli UNHCR/M © Together we heal, learn and shine. Together we can achieve anything. WORLD REFUGEE DAY 2021 in Tunisia Each World Refugee Day, 20 June, UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, joins with others around the world to honour the more than 80 million people who have been forced to flee war, conflicts and persecution and rebuild their lives far from home. We also celebrate the people who have opened their countries, communities and even their homes to those who seek safety and peace. The COVID-19 pandemic has strained our health-care systems, forced children out of school and sometimes kept us from those we love. This shared experience has showed us that we only succeed if we stand together. We have all had to do our part to keep each other safe and despite the challenges, refugees and displaced people have stepped up working on the front lines as nurses and doctors, inventing ways to keep people from spreading germs in close quarters, distributing information on how to stay healthy and safe and more. Given the chance, refugees will continue to contribute to a stronger, safer and more vibrant world. This year, we call for greater inclusion of refugees in health systems, schools and sport... Only by working together can we recover from the pandemic. Along all the month of June 2021, UNHCR Tunisia and its partners; the Tunisian Refugee Council (CTR), the Arab Institute for Human Rights (AIHR) and the Tunisian Association for Management and Social Stability (TAMSS) marked this recurrence with activities related to healthcare, education, sports and culture; with the participation of refugees, asylum seekers, staff, authorities and host community members. TOGHETER WE HEAL…COVID-19 prevention and awareness in Zarzis and Tunis A tent was set up at Amira beach in Zarzis with the presence of healthcare professionals ready to answer questions and counsel refugees, asylum seekers and host community members on prevention measures for COVID-19, health protocol and how to access the national vaccination program. In Tunis, a group of refugees and asylum seekers with specific needs realized a short documentary during a three- day workshop to share their life experiences during COVID-19 and sensitize on prevention measures against the pandemic (documentary still under elaboration). Taking care of the environment in Zarzis Together we can learn to take care of our hosting country. In Zarzis, volunteers from UNHCR, CTR, the scouts and the Municipality joined refugees and host community members at the Sidi Kbir beach for a beach clean-up followed www.unhcr.or g 1 by a short session on the negative impact of waste and plastic on the environment. Again in Zarzis, UNHCR and CTR staff together with refugees, asylum seekers and volunteers from the host community planted flowers and trees in a roundabout area. TOGETHER WE LEARN…Celebrating the end of the school year in Gabes On 24th June, a ceremony to celebrate the end of school year was held in Gabes. The ceremony gathered 15 young refugees and asylum seekers enrolled in either regular schooling or pilot classes, as well as 13 pupils from the host community. Prizes (tablets) and awards were distributed to the best students. Advocate for inclusion in Sfax On 14th June, UNHCR and its partners CTR and TAMSS organized a meeting at the “Cent Metres” theater of Sfax for 25 participants among local service provides, civil society and authorities to explain UNHCR mandate and the activities of each partner organization, to promote a better understanding of the concepts of international protection and asylum; and to advocate to improve the protection environment and better inclusion of refugees and asylum seekers in the services and social activities. TOGETHER WE SHINE…Launch of the song “Ahlan Tounis” by Lotfi Bouchnak The famous Tunisian singer Lotfi Bouchnak composed a song to celebrate the welcoming spirit of Tunisia and its citizens towards refugees and asylum seekers. The song affirms refugees would all the time find a home in Tunisia, a land where the human rights are respected and abuses not tolerated. The song also said the refugees light up Tunisian cities. The video clip of the song was realized by the singer in collaboration with our partner the Arab Institute of Human Rights (AIHR) and with UNHCR support. Refugees and asylum seekers in Tunisia perform in the video. Check the video clip of the song here: https://www.facebook.com/UNHCRTunisie/posts/321754589559713 WRD on air On 21 June, Essaida FM dedicated its morning show to World Refugee Day with interviews and debates. Check the link to re-listen the episode: https://www.facebook.com/EssaidaFm/videos/361212368858735 Photo, painting & craft exhibition The Cité de la Culture, main cultural hub of the capital, hosted an exhibition from 21 to 26 June 2021, where UNHCR and its partners CTR, IAHR and TAMSS exposed paintings, drawings and artisanal crafts made by refugees and asylum seekers, who were also present. Moreover, the exhibition was an occasion to reach out to the big public to explain the situation of refugees and asylum seekers in Tunisia and the various project for their protection and assistance. Public information material was available for distribution. Many of the visitors expressed their solidarity towards refugees and their willingness to help them. The exhibition was also complemented by pictures showcasing UNHCR activities along the over 60 years of its presence in Tunisia. The exhibition attracted all groups of visitors, from journalists to students to families. Movie shows Two movie projections complemented the exhibition: “The man who sold his skin” written and directed by Kaouther Ben Hania and “Capharnaüm” directed by Nadine Labaki. Both the movies tell stories of people forced to flee their homes and abandon their loved ones because of war and persecution; offering excellent reflection inputs on the situation of millions of people forcibly displaced around the world. Sport events www.unhcr.or g 2 In Tunis, on 4th and 18th June, mixed teams of refugees, asylum seekers and host community members (36 in total) played amical football games for the “Ibrahim Sylla trophy” to remember the late Ibrahim Sylla, an asylum seeker who was a reference in his community. Twenty-four refugees, asylum seekers and members of the host community aged between 16 and 24 years participated in the “South Champions League” that took place in Zarzis. In solidarity with the victims of COVID-19, abuse and racism around the world, a moment of silence was observed before every match. Awards were offered to the winning team, the best team player and the best goalkeeper. Refugees were thrilled to meet people from different cities and make new friends. On 27th June, the Stadium Mustafa Al-Douri of Djerba hosted the final match of the Tunisian Cup, followed by a large audience in Tunisia on television and radio. The Club Africain and the Club Sfaxien met in a special ambiance, as the match was “sponsored” by the World Refugee Day, thanks to an agreement signed between UNHCR and the Tunisian Football Federation. The stadium was decorated with WRD banners, and the support personnel was wearing UNHCR t- shirts. Live commentators mentioned the recurrence and remembered refugees in their speeches. Art and recreational events Refugees and asylum seekers hosted at the “Olive tree” shelter of Zarzis decorated the common spaces with graffiti, in order to make the space more colorful and welcoming. Some of them discovered to have drawing talent and love for painting. Two recreational activities for children were organized in Gabes, on 17th and 25th June. The first organized with our partner IADH consisted in a drawing session followed by magic games and dancing dolls show; the other on 25th June, together with CTR, was a day of games and lunch in the park ended by a ride with the Gabes touristic train. The latter was probably the best part of the activity as the children went home extremely happy. A group of seven unaccompanied children participated in a two-day training in photography organized by our partner CTR in Tunis. The training aimed, using photography as a media, to sensitize them about the dangers of irregular migration and prevent child exploitation and abuse. Also, photography is a way of self-expression that can help to overcome trauma. Thirteen refugee and asylum seeker women with specific needs participated in handicraft workshops in Tunis and Sousse where they learn different techniques including artistic collage and production of protective reusable masks. Their works were exposed at the WRD exhibition at the Cité de la Culture in Tunis. Seven children hosted at the Bhar Lazreg shelter in Tunis participated in a comics workshop, where they learn all the steps to produce a comic (scriptwriting, storyboarding, penciling, inking and coloring). The comics, together with two stories written by a refugee girl were printed and exposed at the WRD exhibition at the Cité de la Culture in Tunis. www.unhcr.or g 3 What participants have said “One day, I will make a difference.

Mr. Jan Kavan, President of the 57th Session of the General Assembly, on World Refugee Day There are more than 40 million displaced people worldwide - about half of them children. Uprooted from their homes and either “internally displaced” within their own countries or forced to flee as refugees to other states, these people are caught in the difficult limbo between a turbulent past and an uncertain future. On this third World Refugee Day, we salute the world’s displaced people. We salute them for the courage and strength they demonstrate as they strive toward better lives. And, since this year’s celebration is dedicated to refugee youth, we salute young refugees for the vital role they play in preserving the nuclear family, in contributing to refugee camp life, and in building their local communities, whether they return home or begin a new life in a new country. On this day we look back on a year that saw positive developments in the lives of many refugees. After decades of civil war, two million refugees returned to Afghanistan and a quarter million to their homes in Sri Lanka. In Angola, too, the trickle of returnees has begun. But in other parts of the world, the situation for refugees worsened. It was particularly dire in West Africa, where wars in Liberia, Cote d'Ivoire and Sierra Leone sent tens of thousands of refugees shuttling from one conflict zone to another.

    E U R O P E ALBANIA From 27 May to 22 June, UNHCR organised an exhibition of paintings titled "Colours of Albania in the World" at the Albanian Gallery of Arts. The exhibition brought home 23 Albanian artists living and working abroad. Some are refugees from the previous regime, others are migrants, but all have been living abroad for many years. The artwork reflects their nostalgia for their home country, and artists Ibrahim Kodra and Omer Kaleshi have been called symbols of Albanian culture. The exhibition focused on respect for migrants and refugees, as well as on the positive contributions they can make to host societies. About 600 persons attended the launching ceremony. Media coverage was excellent, including 30 articles and 18 TV and radio mentions during the month of the exhibition. About USD 20,000 were raised through local fundraising efforts to cover the expenses of the event. The exhibition was organised in partnership with the International Organization for Migration and the National Gallery of Arts, under the auspices of the Albanian Prime Minister. ARMENIA UNHCR participated in the morning TV programme on Armenian national TV. During the programme, a UNHCR official answered questions related to housing projects and the local integration of refugees. In addition, some Armenian TV stations broadcast the World Refugee Day TV spot for 15 days. An exhibition-sale of refugees' art work was also organised to show that the most appropriate durable solution for ethnic Armenian refugees from Azerbaijan is local integration in Armenia. The exhibition was appreciated; some of the refugees were asked to make some crafts for souvenir shops.

    Soils of Tunisia

    Soils of Tunisia Amor Mtimet1 Introduction Pedological studies based on soil survey, photo- interpretation, laboratory analysis, and remote sensing, were implemented in Tunisia since more than half-century. The magnitude of these surveys is so high that they practically cover the whole territory of the country. They were aimed mainly at acquiring better knowledge of country’s soil re- sources in order to use them in land reclamation and agricultural development projects. Therefore, Tunisia is among the few African countries where abundant soil data and studies are available. They include: • 636 Pedological studies; • 310 Specialised pedological studies; • 2,085 Preliminary survey studies; and • 18 Bulletins published by the Soils Directorate. Thus totalling 3,049 classified documents. About 65% of the total surface area of the country is covered by pedological surveys, which equals to about 10,669,000 ha. Nevertheless some of those concerned with agriculture development, often ig- nore this large mass of valuable soil data. It is becoming evident that the decision-makers are more prone to consider crop and animal production, hy- draulic works and management plans rather than the sustainable use of land resources. In order to benefit from the funds of a new agri- culture policy, the use of soil information has be- come a must, and those who are in charge of the na- tional development should start addressing also the 1 Direction des Sols, Ministry of Agriculture, Tunis, Tunisia. 243 Options Méditerranéennes, Série B, n. 34 Soils of Tunisia sustainable management of soil services.
